Spring Reading Thing 2007

Posted in Blogging

We’ve been challenged, once again, to get reading. This time we’re being held accountable by having to post our list of reading books. This “contest” will run from March 21, 2007 through June 21, 2007. Since we’ll be reading together as a family and individually, I will post my reading list and then the family’s reading list. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get them all done. I’ll try to update throughout the time period and post reviews as we finish different books. My reading list: 1. Humor for a friend’s heart 2. The Power of a Praying Parent 3. The…

Read to Me: Results

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

The Read to Me has come to a close. We were asked to summarize our results in a post. We accomplished out goal of getting back on track with reading. This mission/contest helped motivate us to get started with our reading again. It’s so easy to allow life to get in the way of reading and let the t.v. take control.

Happy 1st Day of Spring

Posted in Holidays

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy 1st day of Spring. It doesn’t feel very springy around here. It keeps going back and forth between beautiful, warm weather and gloomy, chilly weather. But, we’re still enjoying seeing all the new signs of life. We have daffodils blooming, tulips peeking through the ground, trees flowering, and all kinds of plants growing. Hopefully, the weather will soon stabilize and we’ll all be enjoying consistent springy weather!!

Tackle It Tuesday: Flooring

Posted in Homemaking

I am pleased to announce that I was able to finish last weeks tackle of stripping the vinyl off the laundry and kitchen/dining room floor. I needed to get this done before my husband came home for his long weekend because we/he would be tackling the next phase — the laminate. So, this week’s tackle was installing the laminate. Here is the after picture. The results from last week’s tackle can be seen here and here. The before picture can be seen here. Didn’t he do an amazing job?? There are still a few finishing touches, but it’s pretty much…
